Iowa crops suffer big set back in corn and soybean yields
Iowa corn for 1969 is cut by 37 million bushels to an estimated 790.02 million based on Aug 1 conditions, down from 827.64 million on July 1 and well below 1968's 901.73 million. Soybeans are forecast at 147.15 million bushels, down from 177.95 million in 1968, with yields also lower. Weather delays planting and heavy rains reduced prospects, though western Iowa shows relatively better corn conditions and moisture varies across the state.
